Beat the game... now what? "NOW WE! HIT THE HUT!"

[Badnik Mechanic]

 

Blueblood posted this in the status updates. Microsoft has partnered with Pizza Hut to release a new app on the Xbox 360 which lets you order pizzas after or during a session of gaming.

 

 

You can build custom pizzas using the xbox controller. Alternatively it's powered by Kinect! So if you order a meat feast, you can expect anchovies & onion to turn up.

 

Xbox Live director Larry Hyrb said

 

"We're always looking at ways to give our audience more of what they're interested in"

 

PIZZAS!

 

The app will be ready for US customers on April 23rd and any order placed by May 6th gets 15% off.

Staying with Xbox food news. There seems to be a problem with the Xbox dashboard in some regions. It's supposed to be playing an advert for McDonalds... only theres a problem, it gets stuck in a loop as they take a bite out of the wrap, it's hypnotic. It's not affecting everyone but... it's just weird.

Hatsune Miku has already won this console pizza war.

Someone on my twitter made a good point :V

"Is the Pizza Hut app for the 360 blocked on a Gold sub like all the other ones?"

[Teoskaven]

Is it weird that this situation reminds me terribly about the Doritos/Mountain Dew-Halo partnership sponsored by a bland Geoff Keighley?

XBL Silver users will have to wait an extra week for their pizza delivery.

"We're always looking at ways to give our audience more of what they're interested in"

 

So gamers get pizzas.

 

... actually that's not completely illogical considering the "lazy fat neckbeard" stereotype.

 

Only problem is there will be 7 of 8 slices, and the last one is DLC.

Elaboration, please?

Elaboration, please?

 

Sorry Microsoft, but Apple wins again.

What. The. Hell. Let me guess, gold members only? It'd be cheaper to order it online.

Good news Silver members. Your version of the Pizza ordering app is ready!

 

 

Someone photoshop the Xbox logo on the phones dial.

[Milo]

Will this do?

SSMB... Why the fuck does this need an announcement trailer...?

 

 

"I did all of that without leaving my couch or signing out of Xbox live!"

 

.... Wow man... . ... It's just like my telephone!

 

The app is live, it's 173MB download, doesn't require Gold. This is the reason you bought an Xbox.

[SuperLink]

You can't even have some fun with Miku once the pizza is delivered!

 

Poor form Microsoft.

I bet the Wii U will get a Papa John's app as a consolation prize, not that I'd complain about it.

I really don't like "Papa John" himself, in fact the entire upper echelon of the company is as up its own arse and Republican as they can get, a complete clusterfuck of bellends really, but I do like to get their pizzas once in a while.

Aw, man. From the abbridged title in the index I thought this was gonna be a thread about the ennui one feels after finishing a really awesome game and knowing it's all over.

 

Because then I could've posted this link to a retro-style music video I really like:

XBox 360 desktop advertisements have reached the same point as banner ads for me, meaning they're in a mental blind spot. If you aske me to identify which ads are currently running on my desktop I couldn't tell you.

Is there a Season Pass available, or do you have to buy them by the slice?

[KrazyBean]

And Europe gets nothing...oh well, its not like I can't use my phone or laptop to order pizza whilst sitting down or anything.

[Rusty Spy]

Well, I'd now officially feel embarrassed to own an Xbox. Good job Microsoft.

[Nix]

 

It all makes sense now.

Look I love Domino's. Their feast pizzas are nice. But I am beginning to hate them for leaving us OUT OF THE COLD. At least make that version of the app universal, Domino's! Instead of that generic app we have! I'm proud to be American, but this is torture. =/

 

P.S -  Apple had nothing to do with this app, apart from publishing it to the App Store btw. It was all Domino's.

You're now feeling embarrassed?

 

Did you block out Microsoft's press conference at last year's E3?

 

Here's something to jog your memory.

 

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

*looks in to the future*

 

 

Thanks Microsoft.

[Chooch]

Why the fuck does this need an announcement trailer...?

LARGE

 

15% off orders through the app is nice tho'. I'm not gonna lie.

[JezMM]

So Microsoft want people to eat pizza and then they want people to play Kinect.

 

Like... are they actually trying to kill said people?

[Mando-Whirl-Wind]

So wait, why do you want to all hit Jabba?
